Preparation
Cook the bulgur
- In a medium pot, combine the bulgur, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed.

Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the root end of the endive; thinly slice crosswise.
- Roughly chop the olives.
- Mince the garlic.
Make the vinaigrette
- In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) on medium-high.
- Add the almonds (roughly chop if whole), olives, garlic, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until the almonds are beginning to brown.
- Transfer to a large bowl and add the vinegar; stir well.
- Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Cook the tilapia
- Pat the tilapia dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the tilapia* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
